Since this was one of the most extreme DIY projects I have ever done I figured why stop.
Lighting is going to be put together from combining my halide tank with my t5 tank. It consists of 4x 250W 12K SE halides, 4x 54w T5 with Blue Plus bulbs, and 2x 160w VHO Super Actinics. I chose Coralvue ballasts except for the T5 which are powered by Fulham Work Horse 5's.
Batwing reflectors Suck, this is a known fact. I ordered sheets of hammertone from sunlightsupply and built my own reflectors with another local reefer. I have a brake and bender that made time fly by. The results were wonderful. The difference in light quality is considerable, if you have batwings you need better reflectors.
